Labat Jams Into Lawless

Level 26 : 30,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Derek Lawless raised to 135,000 on the button with the {K-Spades}{K-Hearts} and Aleem Kanji in the big blind three-bet to 405,000 with the {A-Clubs}{Q-Clubs}. Lawless used a time bank and then slid in a four-bet to 1.2 million. Kanji gave it some thought and folded.

Lawless then picked up the {Q-Diamonds}{Q-Clubs} and raised it up to 115, Antoine Labat three-bet to 350,000 with {J-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds} on the button. Lawless called and the flop came {A-Diamonds}{K-Spades}{2-Hearts}, which prompted a bet of 360,000 by Lawless despite the two overcards. Labat opted to call and the {10-Hearts} followed on the turn.

Lawless let his 30 seconds to act run down and checked, and Labat quickly grabbed into his chip stack to see how much he had left. Labat then bet 360,000 with 1.1 million behind and Lawless counted his T-100,000 chips, double-checked his cards and called to create a massive pot of 2.3 million.

After the {5-Diamonds} river, Lawless checked and Labat moved all in for half the pot. Lawless folded.

Labat Continues With Aggression

Level 26 : 30,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Antoine Labat raised to 100,000 with the {10-Spades}{9-Spades} and raked in the blinds and big blind ante.

Philippe Souki then raised to 115,000 with {A-Diamonds}{5-Clubs} in the cutoff and claimed the pot without resistance.

Labat made it 150,000 to go with the {K-Diamonds}{J-Spades} and Derek Lawless defended his big blind with the {A-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}. Labat flopped best on {J-Clubs}{8-Hearts}{2-Spades} and Lawless checked, Labat bet and that ended the hand right there.
